The optical design is full of compromises because it is physics <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> The one thing that helped me most to understand physics at colleague, the core so-to-speak, was that in physics, everything is a give and take. If you gain something, there MUST be something to give away and one has to look for it. The trick is to gain what is needed and to give what can be afforded to lose.
Indeed, the Zeiss articles are real diamonds. One can divine the massive competence of the author and its effort not to permanently fall back into scientific language. It is one thing to master optics, but it is another thing to excel in didactics as well and to be able to transfer the knowledge to others with a less solid ground of experience.

Agreed with the the "give & take"... I guess that's why "interchangable" lens concept is a marvel of modern photography (although some very looong zoom ranges try to undercut the strength of it...<img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
